Processor / motherboard beeping.
Hey guys,
I have a very fast and compatable PC only about 7 months old as well.
when i burn DVD's - the motherboard/processor beeps on and off as if it is being overloaded.
also happens when i play Half Life 2.
This shouldnt happen as i have a P4 Dual Core 3.2 Ghz processor. and 2 GB ram
is there a setting or something to prevent the processor from being overloaded.
?? i dunno? any help would be much appreciated
I assume its something to do with the temperature but its not running that hard nor have i overclocked it.
how do you i fix this? |

go into your BIOS. there should be a setting in there somewhere to do with a temperature alarm. disable it.
as a general rule of thumb, youll get weird crashes and issues due to heat well before youll ever do any damage, so i really dont see the need for the system warnings. |

i dont have the answer, but i was always under the impression that a motherboard beeped when it had a device that wasnt compatible plugged into it..
if u have the motherboard manual, or even just the serial number and model of it, you might be able to track down what the beeps mean on th enet |

| usually the mobo beeps when its too hot. more than likely one of your fans is busted, my mobo fan doesnt even work but i have 3 others in my chassis.. i just turned off the alarm like pkc said, useless e. |

the guys on ITM rekkon its temperature related.
i dont really want things to get overheated, would more fanning help or should i look at another cooling method. |

think of it as a speeding alarm cars have. in the BIOS there should be an option to pick a degrees C setting for when the alarm goes off. you can set it higher or lower, but turning this alarm off wont mean youre suddenly flying blind.
im onto my 3-4 system and ive overclocked several of them, and i have never had an issue with heat.
like i said, youll get ample warning before you do any damage. playing HL2 wont hurt your system. i promise :) |

when i open up the task manager to check the stats when it beeps and the CPU is peaking hard up around the 90 - 100% mark.
?? are you sure it will be fine if i just switch the alarm off? |

its coz youre playing a game. intense!
the alarm doesnt do anything apart from make a noise. it doesnt change any settings, so at the moment youre still doing all you want, youve just got that annoying alarm going off.
it'll be fine, promise! |

| get some new cooling installed unless u wanna slowly but surely ruin your nice shiny cpu imo |

Open the case after your finished playing a game. Touch the cpu and depending on the type of burn you get decide on what cooling you need.
Get a diagnostic prog and find out what the temp is getting up to and compare it with what the manual says is safe and blablabla. Need be, you can buy a fan for less then $10. |
